A semitrailer driver suffered minor injuries when his vehicle turned over at 4:34 a.m. Saturday on U.S. 12 a short distance east of Monagan Highway in Franklin Township, Lenawee County sheriff’s deputies reported.

The driver, Michael Dion Freeman, 37, of Kimball was driving east on U.S. 12 when the vehicle slid on ice as it came out of a curve, the report said. The vehicle slid into the westbound lane, hit a guard rail, crossed back into the eastbound lane, went off the road and hit an embankment then overturned onto the road, according to the report.

Freeman was taken to Allegiance Health in Jackson by Lenawee Community Ambulance, the report said.

U.S. 12 was closed from the time of the crash until about 2:30 p.m. Saturday, sheriff’s Sgt. Dustin Reckner said.

Diesel fuel leaked from the semi and had to be cleaned up before the road could be reopened, Reckner said.

The semi is owned by FedEx Freight Inc. of Fremont, Ind., according to the report. No citation was issued.
